[Nagios-users] Error: Could not read object configuration data!
Running nagios-3.2.3-8.fc14.x86_64 rpm, clicking most links in the leftnav result in the Error: Could not read object configuration data! First things first, from every FAQ I've read: # nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg Total Warnings: 0 Total Errors: 0 # /etc/init.d/nagios status nagios (pid 17797) is running... # tail /var/log/nagios/nagios.log [1305566224] Nagios 3.2.3 starting...

Same behavior when I run check_http from the command line, so all that appears to be working as expected. Reading http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg19610.html makes me wonder if I have some sort of file permissions issue such that nagios is running fine, but apache is unable to read certain files when it executes CGI. I haven't figured out how to turn up the log level for CGI. Turning Apache's LogLevel up to debug hasn't shown me anything interesting.

If you installed Nagios from the source tarball using the quickstart instructions at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-fedora.html , then the nagios config file nagios.cfg would be under /usr/local/nagios/etc/ and the command to verify the config should then be .. /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg I would stop the Nagios daemon, check the start script under /etc/init.d to make sure you know how it is starting, check where it is looking for the config and run the verify command again making sure you are using the right config location. hth, Jim RPMForge is a repository it has the latest nagios rpms.

Hi list, after upgrading from 1.4 to 2.6 on a debian system the webinterface is not working anymore, if I click on a menu link I get: Error: Could not read object configuration data! the nagios documentation says: 1. Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for errors. 2. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors. 3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based file).

Re: [Nagios-users] Error: Could not read object configuration data!
I'm by no means an expert -- just taking shots in the dark here, but... Can you run checks from the command line? If so, it suggests a problem specific to the CGI. If not, it would seem the problem is with Nagios per se.

[Nagios-users] Error: Could not read object configuration data!
FAQ ID F0332 describes the problem I am having, but I do not understand the meaning or how to check/verify the third item (3.) Specifically I do not understand (default text file or template-based file) Are these separate configure options? I can start over and re-configure everything, but wanted to understand if I am missing something before doing so. I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 32.4.21-9.EL, Nagios 2.10, Pluggins 1.4.11, and gd 2.0.36. -- FAQ ID F0332 Title:Error: Could not read object configuration data! Description:When clicking on any of the links on the left hand side you get: Error: Could not read object configuration data! Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error: 1. Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for errors. 2. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors. 3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based file). -- 1. nagios -v looks good.

I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 32.4.21-9.EL, Nagios 2.10, Pluggins 1.4.11, and gd 2.0.36. Is SELinux enabled?

I What are the permissions on /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache, status.dat and directories above. They should be such that your web server can read them. Typically the files are 644 and 664 nagios:nagios respectively, directories 755. Again, SELinux could be getting you here if you have the normal file permissions set correctly. Also, does objects.cache have content fairly closely matching your config (all templates expanded)? -- Marc - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] Error: Could not read object configuration data!
Not to be silly, but have to checked your available disk space on the volume that your nagios logs are stored? If you're running low on log space, many odd things can happen. - Jaimie Livingston (jaimielives) --- This thread is located in the archive at this URL: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/nagios-users.34.0.html?tx_maillisttofaq_pi1[showUid]=5964 - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Nagios-users] Error: Could not read object configuration data!
Hi there, We have problems with our Nagios recently. It was running fine and all the sudden it shows empty status. After we restart Nagios and click on the GUI it says: Error: Could not read object configuration data! We didnt change anything. I checked the configuration using ./nagios v ../etc/nagios.cfg It shows no errors. However, the status.dat is empty and nagios.lock is empty also. What could be wrong? Thanks for the help.

I found out that there is a file called perfdata.log in /usr/local/nagios/var/ directory. If I remove it then I can start Nagios again.
